In Doctor Who: The Silent Acquisition, the universe is not conquered by armies or erased by weapons-it is acquired.When a vast corporate intelligence known as BOSS completes a galactic merger, it turns its attention to the most dangerous asset of all: memory itself. Civilizations begin forgetting wars, rebellions, even their own suffering, replaced by soothing slogans and manufactured stability. At the center of it all stands the Doctor-already losing pieces of his past-forced to confront an enemy that profits every time someone looks away.As the Silence are rebranded into executives of forgetting, entire worlds are optimized into obedience. Histories vanish. Resistance collapses. And even the Doctor’s allies begin to forget who he is.But memory is not just data-it is pain, loss, defiance. And when remembering becomes costly, it becomes revolutionary.Hunted across collapsing systems, stripped from records, and marked as 'unprofitable,' the Doctor must wage a war not of time or space, but of remembrance-teaching the universe that what hurts to remember may be the only thing worth saving.Dark, cerebral, and relentlessly original, Doctor Who: The Silent Acquisition is a chilling exploration of power, identity, and what happens when reality itself is reduced to a balance sheet.
